I'm off,of Yazas this past Friday after about 1 1/2 years. I have a personal and family history of depression and had serious emotional side effects. I've been on Lexapro for about 5 years for depression and very mild AD/HD. I started Yaz in January 2008, following the birth of my daughter. Last November I stated feeling depressed and had my the dosage on my Lexapro increased which seemed to work for a period of time. I'd say about February 08. I've pulled away from my husband who I've been with since we were 17. I've been having extreme irritability especially aimed at my mother-in-law who we live with. People have had to start reminding me to do small, routine things. It's affecting my job and taking care of my daughter. My husband has vociferously pointed out a lack of sex drive on my part. I probably should've finished out my current pack however I went off all together this past Friday because it was the only thing that seemed like it would help my situation. I will going back to the birth control that I was using prior to my daughter's birth/
